6. First 100% electronic state in the union. On the first Diebold election, we turned solidly red... |
|
...after over 120 years.
Funny, that.

8. Any system that doesn't produce a human-readable hardcopy that is kept physically secure... |

...and verified by the voters, is totally unacceptable to me.

I have if not unshakable faith in them enough to get by. I think Alvin Greene genuinely won on pop star name recognition. All I read is a lack of machines changing the result in recent years but if really unsure volunteer at precincts it's not spectator those who stayed home are likely to see. I would early vote to be safer than sorry bt we got to take a leap of faith with machines if not. Dems and greens active at predicts are making sure machines are testedand thorough.
